Haptic Feedback

Provide tactile feedback for meaningful interactions:

// Impact feedback (physical actions)
let impact = UIImpactFeedbackGenerator(style: .medium)
impact.impactOccurred()

// Notification feedback (outcomes)
let notification = UINotificationFeedbackGenerator()
notification.notificationOccurred(.success)  // or .warning, .error

// Selection feedback (UI changes)
let selection = UISelectionFeedbackGenerator()
selection.selectionChanged()

Animation Guidelines

• Use spring animations for natural, bouncy feel
• Respect reduceMotion accessibility setting
• Keep animations brief and purposeful

@Environment(\.accessibilityReduceMotion) var reduceMotion

var animation: Animation {
    reduceMotion ? .none : .spring()
}

withAnimation(animation) {
    // Animate property changes
}
